The time is now!

(Just please make sure to prefer mirrors over our own servers, they are melting already! Thanks!)

Update, 30 minutes after launch:

Sales are coming in! In the first minute or so, this was the lineup of countries from which people made purchases of ETS2:New Zealand (first!)NorwayNetherlandsAustriaGermanyUnited KingdomUnited StatesDenmarkFranceBelgiumItalyetc. etc. etc.

Congratulations scssoftware! I've been waiting for almost 2 years and now the time has come!

I wanna thank you for all the hard work you've done, in times of stress and you've been working hard as fuck, you still make videos and screenshots for us here on the blog. Thank you and good luck in the future.

Yay our new baby's here the game was only 4 mins old when i paid for it. Just got to wait for the download now, there must be loads downloading the game, im on a 120MBs fibre optic broadband and its still going slow xD

Yay, downloaded and purchased! I notice that the game save (.sii) files are no longer plain text, so no more editing the player cash level!!

I started in Swansea (closest place to me in real life :)) and so far have delivered a load to Birmingham, now need to get some sleep so I can do my real-life driving job tomorrow morning. Plenty more trucksimming to come...

Agreed. Looks really good. My only problem, and it is a small one, is that we still don't have proper slip roads in UK, i.e. the M25 goes to two lanes when there is a turn off. Other than that does look nice, and the physics are massively improved.

super gamewaiting with great impatience November 10th to get my salary and buy this game, played only 10 minutes demo and already fascinated me is really a simulator, which can not be matched by any other game in my life like I seenI hope to "ETS 3" to come up with all the countries of EuropeThank you for your understanding and apologize that I have not written directly in English but not mastered very well, I used google translateas many projects and how best

Just checked out the first few deliveries of the demo. This game is so much better than I imagined! I'm mostly surprised by how well-optimised the engine is compared to how it was with Scania-TDS; hardly any slowdowns or stuttering.

The routes are all very well mapped out and my first delivery was from Carlisle to Glasgow delivering some logs. All the management options are quite in-depth, especially the levelling up system with the skill points into about 6 different categories. Awesome work SCS you should be proud!!

Outside Aberdeen coming from Edinburgh there is a bad AI path where they always crash into eachother. You need to save then reload to clear traffic to continue or be stuck waiting forever. Just a heads up

Really feels like a natural driving experience. I just love sims in general, and this strangely enough appeals, awesome driving experience. Well impressed with the level of detail that went into the trucks and map design.

I downloaded the demo before the rush started then bought an activation key from the Official ETS2 website. I am usually in bed two hours ago but I couldnt drag myself away from the game even though I fell asleep three times during the last delivery lol. Thanks a million for this fantastic game SCS

Umm guys how do you sleep in game ?? im at the service station on the M1 in England heading for birmingham but there's no Zzz icon's like in ETS1, i can see beds on the map and im right on top of it, tryed just turning off the engine but i just sit there, cant fine a key to sleep or anything on screen about it. Am i just being dum or is the game mission some Zzzz icons in the game ???

Waiting two years for this game & in the second year ( this year ) i actually pass my LGV licence in real life lol! Im at work at this second layed in my bunk waiting to be loaded with fox's biscuits :D but hey soon as i get home this afternoon im still buying this game! :D hehe! Chris (Uk)

Had a fantastic first trip in a MAN transporting tubes from Kiel to Rostock. That was all I had time for last night before going to bed. But what a great trip it was. Felt so good to be driving along the countryside on what could best be described as a sideroad. Writing this from my desk at work - and can't wait to get back trucking tonight after the kids are sound asleep. :) Congratulations on making this great simulator SCS.

Sounds like you had great time with ETS2. :) I myself am still at work as well, but i was able to buy & download ETS2 last night. I did download again in this morning just in case the first download is corrupted, because of slow download speeds. In the morning download speeds were much better.

Still haven't played any, but only few hours left at work, and then it's going to be trucking all weekend. lol

I have been the fan of ETS since the first one.. Had waited this for a long time! Downloaded the demo in about 5 minutes and one word, this game is amazing!! good I have a free weekend.. Buying the Boxed version when It finds the stores here in Finland.Great work SCS!! :) ps. Thanks for putting my language to the game also!

lol 10h of gameplay and i love it! Idea for future patch: Gps indicate the speed limit... i say that because sometime (at night) i can't see the signs and end up getting a ticket (and it's not cheap)

Except this (and it's not a bug nor a gameplay mistake...the idea is just an idea that could help (maybe i'm the only one who have this "problem")) Congrats on the game ! extreme improvement on the previous ETS and fully enjoyable (even at low speed).

I am extremely disappointed with the final product of ETS2. I don't regret one bit that I spent the money, because the guys worked hard for this (seemingly at least). But to be honest I like Scania Truck Simulator more: graphics, gameplay, physics. ETS2 trucks move as if they are in an arcade game.

Not only that, but it stresses my laptop waaaaay too much while the graphics are not that amazing.

Yes, because laptops are sooo good at playing games. Get a fucking rig, build it up yourself and have something to be fucking proud of you trampy cunt. I use my laptop for work and movies that's about it.
